This article will describe the current providers involved in delivering mental health services, the projected needs for mental health providers in the next decade, and interventional strategies that may enhance their delivery of care. By adopting comprehensive, patient-centered interdisciplinary strategies, and utilizing new and innovative tools and pharmaceutical agents healthcare providers can mitigate the adverse effects of lack of access and the delivery of mental health care.
